Age & citizenship – You must be at least 16 years old by the time you would register and be admitted and you have to be a Nigerian citizen (or a recognised resident).
-O‑Level credits – A minimum of five credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in no more than two sittings (WAEC, NECO, GCE, NABTEB, etc.).
– National Identification Number (NIN)– Your NIN is mandatory; without it you can’t generate a profile code or complete registration.
– Accurate personal data– When you create your profile, make sure name, date of birth, gender, state of origin and LGA match the records at NIMC. Any mismatch will cause delays.
– Valid email & phone – Provide a unique email address and a mobile number that will receive the registration code and exam updates.
– Four institution choices– You must select four tertiary institutions (university, polytechnic, college of education, or IEI) in order of preference.
– Registration at an approved CBT centre – After generating your profile code, go to any accredited JAMB CBT centre, capture your passport photo and biometric fingerprint, and submit your details.
– Print your registration slip– Once registration is successful, print the slip; you’ll need it on exam day.
– Conduct during the exam – No calculators, phones, or other electronic devices are allowed. Follow all invigilator instructions, and bring only your printed registration slip.
Meeting these expectations keeps the process smooth and ensures you’re eligible to be considered for admission.
